| Winsor Dam at dawn, Quabbin Park, Jan 25, 2014 |
Made a brief run through Quabbin Park this morning and found a few birds but overall it was quiet. The reservoir continues to freeze over with only a few areas of open water left. Waterfowl consisted of half a dozen Common Mergansers near Goodnough and 19 Mallards flying north plus a single Mallard in a small open water area near Winsor Dam. Other birds of note included my first of the year Ruffed Grouse, a couple vocal Common Ravens and a couple Bald Eagles. I searched a bit for a saw whet owl but came up empty.
A late morning walk with Wilson along the Jabish Canal had 44 Mallards along with a Black Duck flying north plus the other usual expected species.
